Hello, kernel maintainers. I see in aptitude that the size of the linux-image package is being reduced by almost 80%. I have searched kernel logs (both upstream and Debian packaging) but could not find an explanation. Does this imply that many kernel modules have disappeared? I don't see ant new packages to contain these modules, though. So: what happened, and should I care? Thanks a lot for your time -- Ludovic Brenta.
